FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 69 5,229, dated March 11, 1902.

Application filed January 2,1902. Serial No. 88,048. (No model.)

To all 1071 0111 it may concern: g

Be it known that I, ERNEST OLDENBUSCH,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Frames, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in frames for pictures and similar articles;.and the objects of my invention are to provide a frame of cheap construction of a plurality of contrasting colors or metals without the use of solder, thus avoiding the injury to the metals and frame and color consequent upon the use of heat or solder. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents my improved frame, parts being removed. Fig. 2 is aview of the ornamental ring. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the device upon the line 3 3 in Fig. 1.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throu ghout the several views.

A sheet-metal strip or band a is stamped or folded into the desired shape in the usual well-known manner. At the'several points about the frame where I desire to attach the ring or band 1) I form cut-out pieces a a a a a a. The number of these cut-out pieces will vary with the size and shape of the frame. In the usual sheet-metal frames I find six of such cut-out pieces to be a desirable number. After these pieces a a are cut out and folded over I place the ring or band I) in position outside of the frame member a and press or fold out secondary cut-out pieces a a These secondary cut-out pieces a a maybe placed at each of the points where the cut-out pieces ct o/ are formed or may be placed at any convenient point. It will thus be found that the ornamental and strengthening ring I) will be securely held in place and a neat and attractive frame obtained.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is In a device of the character described, the combination of a frame member, a band of metal surrounding suchframe member, the frame member beiu g provided with a plurality of primary cut-out pieces engaging one side of such surrounding band of metal, and with a plurality of secondary cut-out pieces ongagingthe other side of such surrounding band of metal, substantially as shown and described.

Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 20th day of December,-A. D. 1901.
